More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this townhouse has received recent cosmetic updates including new laminate wood flooring throughout and fresh interior paint, making it move-in ready from a superficial standpoint. However, the kitchen features significantly outdated cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances (except for a newer dishwasher), requiring a full renovation to meet modern standards. Similarly, the bathrooms exhibit dated vanities, tiling, and flooring, also necessitating substantial updates. While functional and maintained, the property's key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) show considerable age and are not aligned with contemporary styles or features, placing it in the 'fair' category where major updates are needed for modernization.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located in North El Monte, offering convenient access to shopping malls, centers, and major highways I-10 and 605.
Recent Interior Updates: The interior and balcony have been freshly repainted, and new laminated wood floors have been installed throughout, providing a modern and move-in ready feel.
Gated Community & End Unit Advantage: Situated as the first end unit with a street view within a quiet, gated community, offering enhanced privacy and security.
Comprehensive HOA Amenities & Coverage: The community features a swimming pool, and the HOA fee covers property insurance, pool/gardening services, trash, roof, common area maintenance, and all water usage, simplifying homeownership.
Included Appliances & Functional Layout: Includes a refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer, along with a well-designed layout featuring a master bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closet on the 3rd floor, and a living room with a balcony.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1985, the property's age suggests that some major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their expected lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
Monthly HOA Fee: A monthly HOA fee of $300, while comprehensive, adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Limited Private Outdoor Space & Multi-level Living: As a townhouse, private outdoor space is limited to a balcony, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a private yard. The multi-level layout with the master on the 3rd floor could also be a consideration for some.
